Literacy Services

Imagine not being able to write a check, fill out an application or read to your child...

Our Mission : To help adults read and write so they can achieve their goals as parents, employees, and community members.

The Fresno County Public Library Literacy Program provides free reading, writing, spelling, and math tutoring to Fresno County adults that cannot read or write English. This one-on-one, learner-centered program is provided by specially trained volunteer tutors.

Literacy Services are locally funded by Measure B, a one-eighth of one percent voter-approved sales tax to support Library services and programs.
